If you come at the king, you best not miss, as a Philadelphia Eagles fan learned from New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees on Sunday.
Drew Brees was at the Caesars Superdome for the Saints’ Week 3 home game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen Hurts’ group pulled off a thrilling last-minute 15-12 victory to hand New Orleans their first loss of the season.
After the game, an Eagles fan chirped Brees outside the Superdome by screaming, “Drew Brees! Go birds!” Philadelphia won the game, but the Saints legend won with a check mate chirp of his own.
“I’ve got a pretty good record against you guys,” Brees said.
According to Pro Football Reference, Drew Brees was 4-3 against the Eagles in his legendary career, with a 67.59 completion percentage for 2,106 yards, 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
He was also 3-0 against Philly in the postseason, leading the Saints to victories over the Eagles in the 2006 Divisional Round, the 2013 Wild Card Round and the 2018 Divisional Round.
